Warning :

In the following paragraphs, percentage changes by subsections are presented in descending order of their contribution to the overall percentage change of the industrial production index. The contribution of a subsection takes into account its weight and the magnitude of its evolution.

All data are corrected for seasonal and working day effects (SA-WDA).

In April 2021, turnover fell back in the manufacturing industry (−3.9% after +8.0%) as in industry as a whole (−3.8% after +6.1%).

Export turnover also fell back sharply in April (−2.9% after +14.5%).

Compared to February 2020 (last month before the first lockdown), turnover decreased sharply in the manufacturing industry (−3.8%) and more moderatly in the whole industry (−1.4%).

In April, turnover in the manufacturing industry declined especially in the manufacture of transport equipment

In April, turnover decreased sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (−17.5% after +44.1%), due to a sharp fall in the “other transport equipment“ (−29.0% after +116.6%). The turnover also decreased in the manufacture of food products and beverages (−2.3% after +3.2%), in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−5.4% after +14.9%), and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (−1.4% after +2.5%); the decline was particulary strong in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (−5.6% after +8.0%). The turnover was virtually stable in “other manufacturing” (−0.1% after +1.5%).

Compared to February 2020, turnover decreased strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (−24.0%), and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (−17.5%). Conversely, turnover increased in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.3%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.0%) and in “other manufacturing” (+2.6%), where it declined only in the manufacture of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products (−2.6%). Compared to February 2020, turnover was particularly dynamic in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+10.2%).

Turnover in the manufacturing industry increased very strongly over one year (+17.1%)

With a base effect linked to the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020, the industry turnover over the last three months went up very strongly compared to that of the same three months of the previous year (+17.1% for the manufacturing industry, +17.3% for the whole industry). The increase was sharp in all sectors : in “other manufacturing” (+21.7%), in mining and quarrying; energy; water supply; waste management (+17.9%), in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+24.3%), in the manufacture of transport equipment (+14.7%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+7.6%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+13.4%).

Revisions

The percentage change of the turnover index in March 2021 in the manufacturing industry has been revised downwards at +8.0% instead of +8.4%; it has not been reestimated after rounding in industry as a whole (+6.1%), compared to the previous publication.
